Now Innovating: How research expertise in wind led to R&D for methane emission detection to help mitigate climate change
video
In our Season 4 finale of Now Innovating, a research-to-impact series at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, we chat with Dr. Chris Hugenholtz, PhD, and Thomas Barchyn from the Faculty of Art’s Department of Geography. They are behind the technology and the research program for , a vehicle-based methane emissions management system for the upstream oil and gas sector. They discuss how their research and technology for detecting methane emissions, a greenhouse gas, is an important step to help mitigate climate change. We also discuss their innovation journey and the decision to license their technology through the university versus creating a startup company.Â
Now Innovating shares the stories of ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ researchers who have moved their discoveries forward and their innovation journeys to implementation and creating impact. Episodes are released monthly, and also available as a podcast on platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and more.Â
